Sziget 2026

[billybigballs]

As someone who gets paid at the end of the month, today was the last pay day before Christmas.

 

If Sziget want people to buy tickets as Christmas presents (and they should want that!), they should really announce the announcement date today to put people on alert.

Agree, better than 80 names and delaying towards the new year is to release 15-20 names as soon as possible, to indicate the direction in which the festival is going, to make it feel "it is happening"

Announcement day is typically Thursday, 10am CET, we already know it will be before christmas, so most likely it will be on 4th, 11th or 18th December

18th feels way too late.

 

Suspect sometime between 4th and 11th.

 

But something today to say it's coming definitely makes sense. Unless, of course, they are in the hands of a specific act and their timetable of announcement.

[mathuska]

Well, most sziget announcements coming out at 10am, just a few minutes

Weren't you posting about going to RES when you thought Sziget isn't happening? You must be regretting now opting for Sziget?

 

Not really, can't miss Sziget can we? 😃

Guys, i cant stop listening sombr (i ve never heard about it before), its pretty good.. 

[billybigballs]

Okay, sooooooo, with an announcement imminent (ish) and December around the corner, who is on your wish list?

 

Top 5, doesn't matter if they're headliner, sub, or playing a tiny stage at 2pm. Who do you want to see? Only criteria is they must have already been confirmed at another European festival in July/August next year.

 

Mine:

 

1. Turnstile

2. sombr

3. Nothing But Thieves

4. Geese

5. Lorde

Ah, Wunderhorse. Don't know how I forgot them. I spent a very large part of this year utterly obsessed with 'Rope'.
